I look forward to working with the team to build on Dawsongroup’s strong platform and deliver market-leading solutions to support our customers’ transition to net zero.”

During his 40-year tenure with the Group, Stephen has overseen transformational growth, establishing Dawsongroup as a sector leader in asset leasing with a strong presence in the UK and internationally. As Non-Executive Chairman, Stephen will continue to work closely with the Board and Malcolm to support the Group’s corporate development and next phase of growth.
